Walk on the ruble Bashny.Net

Ruble - the informal name of the area west of Moscow along the Rublevo Assumption highway. About this place go many different rumors and legends. Even goes so far that there supposedly are not allowed mere mortals. But is this true? Let's see. First of all, I must say, probably not everyone knows. No Rublevki on the map of Russia - neither a village nor a town, nor as anything else. There are, for example, the village Rublyovo, but he is not quite on the ruble, and the next, and it is built largely conventional five-story building with inexpensive shops running around the bus stop. The term "Ruble" geographically announced several housing estates, like meat on a skewer threaded on Rublevo-highway. These towns and villages are simply called in Russian and Discord, Barvikha, Zhukovka, mustache and a lot of Gourock with different numbers. In each of these villages live only a few hundred people.





Of course, "glamorous" and rich Ruble began immediately. In the 60s there could get a piece of any good employee the right plant, among whom was my grandmother (from the site she refused, too uncomfortable was when legendary now Ruble). Surprisingly, even now, with space land prices in these areas is easy to find those old buildings. Even on the highway to go far do not need.



Simultaneously with the distribution of land here sovtruzhennikam gradually began to build and gosdachi. If you look at a fence not help but wonder spartan modesty Soviet leaders and their accompanying persons. Surprisingly, gosdachi there is still referred to as simply numbers.



Fallen silent witness "prestige" in the narrow and uncomfortable Rublevo-highway ... This is a mailbox still remembers those times when ordinary employees went here for the summer to fulfill personal food program:



Note that in some vile state here contains sidewalks. Of course, I understand that walking on the ruble moveton, worse homophobic statements in a gay bar, but still ... It is necessary to clean the streets at least? But why? "Ilitnye 'shoes, as a rule, do not apply to local sidewalks, and that outside of dachas - nobody cares. The main thing is to guard the perimeter. On Protection (really from thieving neighbors?) Here prefer not to save :)



This is not only save on cleaning sidewalks, but not for cleaning the roads and drive in a rut, good outside the mega-SUVs in February even seen reference pine forest ... in the picture.



But really what's not to save - so it's advertising. Generous advertisers do not skimp hang all the neighborhoods epic proportions stretch marks. What these structures are attached - look at later.





But you can not say that residents Rublevki only interested in material things. Here at a premium of spirituality. Various aspects of spirituality intricately intertwined in the most unusual proportions:



Here we come to our first big stop - the central square of Barvikha. Not far from here is the local administration. Address at it simple: just Administration.



In contrast administration - a shopping center. He is not very big, but very glamorous ... Inside somehow forbidden to photograph, so that the photo will not. But was surprised that no one was there. That is, almost no one, except for 3-4 people drinking coffee in the cafeteria.



Opposite the shopping center for rural Gourmet is spetslarek with spetspayki. First, is not very clear, that for home cooking, if there is only an assortment of instant noodles, cigarettes, soda yes, but if you look closely - on the upper shelves are jars of jam, pickles by specially trained attendants. They say that is expensive, but the Soviet nostalgia for impoverished childhood, as they say, is priceless.



And then, across the street - the main thing, so to speak, the whole building Rublev Reserve vanity and Ponto - Barvikha luxury village. In general, there is a complete Laksheri:



In the village of Barvikha, this complex of buildings at the same time serves as the club ...



... Grocery store ...



... And the MTS:



And by its functionality resembles the outlet mall Fisherman's wharf in Macau, only then everything is much more expensive. Expensive is the explanation - the only clean place throughout the ruble. And what's funny ... Although most deserted, perhaps all potential buyers at the time of the shooting gathered at the stadium Fischt, it is possible.



What is shown in the next frame, unknown to myself. Whether the owners of expensive cars parkanutsya decided in a pedestrian area and it is time to call the activists of the movement "StopHam", or janitors were afraid to dump snow from them, whether the machines are for sale - and did not understand. But the sight of decently covered with snow on a background of supercars almost spotless pedestrian zone surprises.



Yes, we must pay tribute, there is a beautiful home. But as the village never go away from the girl, and in Zhukovka: locked in the closed lane some idiotic-wretched barrier. Why? There for the Wall, I suppose, a platoon of special forces armed, so that such a frail protection and can be neglected. On the other hand, perhaps it is some sort of psychological feature of local residents - to obstruct the access of strangers in their reserve.



So, leave the Barvikha and go to Zhukovka. Turn around. Beautiful picture, yaschetayu: where there is no need to Zhukovka what is going on than the force, but only to the airport. Flight schedule on billboards little further away.



To deny access to outsiders mansion gentlemen the best way - the fence. The fence should be as high as possible, so that no one saw clearly scope zazabornogo construction. I dare disappoint zazaborschikov all their mansions can be viewed in Google maps. Another version - the height of the fence helps to save valuable property from the effects of the shot from a grenade launcher direct fire directly from the road - I also think untenable. All the same, then the FSO at every turn, not to mention the other employees. Or they have no confidence zazaborschikov?



By the way, on the ruble sometimes there are not only houses, but also apartment buildings. Also on 3-4 meter fence. Privacy is Rublevskaya obviously ...



Oh! On the ruble came new guests!



After Luxury village has a shop in Zhukovka easier - Plaza. Plaza feature is incredibly high prices for food. And do not say about some exclusives there, just show-off - even in the Olympic "Rose Farm" all in 1, 5-2 times cheaper.



Area at the Plaza is a dirty parking lot, where some footy types discussed with the Tajiks, valet features of certain vehicles.



Well, not the same menu of restaurants to discuss them! Moreover, that is almost certain that there expensive and tasteless.



Exit the Zhukovka, and here again spirituality.



It turned out that the local restaurateurs some trouble with the Russian language. Or more simply: broken button «B» on the keyboard, and not fearful architect asked, thought so "glamorous" and "more» ...



Another discovery! Stop around which to remove the snow! In fact, public transport here does not get served by the direction of the bus, as a rule, Ukrainian "Bogdan" (well, what transport is still worthy Rublevki?). The freeze - another remake of the Great Wall.



Curiosity overcame, went behind the wall, and there - nothing. Just a blank wall fenced off forest. Really for soundproofing? Laudable concern for the Cottagers.



By the way, there's not unusual advertising. What kind of school "President" is such that it is because of her kind it is necessary to buy an apartment here?



I go out to the mustache. There is a wall wall works. There's nothing to roam every one that is in the nature reserve of glamor and wealth!



Usovo known by the fact that here several times a day comes the most common train. Probably, for the descendants of those same Soviet farmers. For it had begun to reconstruct the station, but there were other things to do, and now the most glamorous Railways station of half of the train have to literally jump into the snow.



Went into the cabin to the driver. The cabin is much more interesting than all the ruble.



Well where, where else in Russia can be found near these two archetypal symbol of the country as a "hunchback" "constipation" and the new (though not 600h) "Mercedes"? Only here, on the ruble.



For the station is a small monument to the heroes of WWII.



Look, here they are - the mansions of billionaires! :)



Found the only unit that cleans the sidewalks. Yeah, not a lot ...



Again meet outlets. For fashionable, beautiful name - typical vegetable-stall did not seem worth it on the ruble, and in the alleys of the West Biryuleva. And, of course, the collapse of the flower. There is really a lot of flower shops ... Maybe the locals - the bees? :)



Another village DC (Kalchuga - a village just outside the Usovo)



And after this Kalchugi sidewalks is not there. That is, generally, not even those which are not removed. We have to climb a ravine on the trampled path. By flying at high speed special vehicles.



After a couple of kilometers to go some fork, and there - public service ads! - "Toby Dyakuyu God, I sho ne Moskal»!



That's the last village in our short survey. Here fences already thinner and mansions - modest ...



But here, the whole of life - behind the fence. Live without a fence locals obviously just do not know how. Subconscious training to prison or something? Is not clear.



That's the end of the ruble, who looked - that fellow!
After a walk according to this reserve noticed the following:
1. No single "Rublevki" no. There is not even these villages, who happened to be on such a "luxury" land. All Ruble (in ideologically-glamorous sense of the term) consists of unconnected to each other settlements for velikokitayskimi fences. Links them only a narrow Rublevo-highway, in traffic jams which drivers "Maserati" and "Maybach" rest with the passengers of minibuses.
2. When we impressionable intellectuals are asking, "Why do we have all the bad", please send safely in this dirty and uncomfortable piece of suburban forests, which are called Rublevka - there will immediately understand why. If the "elite" can not do a normal and comfortable life of their reservation, why the "people" should it be otherwise?
3. Recall the "time to throw." "Poravaliteli" live here, besides, I am absolutely sure that they had seen "how to" organize the living space. And in Switzerland, and Singapore ... But what Singapore, in any place, even any depressive state of the European Union, for example, in Lithuania, a small resort looks a hundred times cleaner, more beautiful and just livability ... but the locals do not need it, then they are in our country, it turns out, shift workers, as we have for many years been warned so-called "Patriots".
4. Of course, I am fiercely, wildly jealous of successful people :)
